4 Important Safety Information These are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the products described in this manual. Use Safety Lights and Devices Slow moving tractors, selfpropelled equipment, and towed implements can create a hazard when driven on public roads. They are difficult to see, especially at night. Flashing warning lights and turn signals are recommended whenever driving on public roads. Transport Machinery Safely Comply with state and local laws. Maximum transport speed for implement is 20 mph. DO NOT EXCEED. Never travel at a speed which does not allow adequate control of steering and stopping. Some rough terrain require a slower speed. Sudden braking can cause a towed load to swerve and upset. Reduce speed if towed load is not equipped with brakes. Use the following maximum speed - tow load weight ratios as a guideline: 20 mph when weight is less than or equal to the weight of tractor. 10 mph when weight is double the weight of tractor. IMPORTANT: Do not tow a load that is more than double the weight of tractor. Use A Safety Chain A safety chain will help control drawn machinery should it separate from the tractor drawbar. Use a chain with the strength rating equal to or greater than the gross weight of the towed machinery. Attach the chain to the tractor drawbar support or other specified anchor location. Allow only enough slack in the chain to permit turning. Do not use safety chain for towing. Practice Safe Maintenance Understand procedure before doing work. Use proper tools and equipment, refer to Operator s Manual for additional information. Work in a clean dry area. Lower the implement to the ground, put tractor in park, turn off engine, and remove key before performing maintenance. Allow implement to cool completely. Do not grease or oil implement while it is in operation. Inspect all parts. Make sure parts are in good condition & installed properly. Remove buildup of grease, oil, or debris. Remove all tools and unused parts from implement before operation. 2 LR0548, LR0560, LR1560, LR1572, LR1584 & LR1596 Landscape Rakes M 11/01/12

5 Important Safety Information These are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the products described in this manual. Prepare for Emergencies Be prepared if a fire starts. Keep a first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy. Keep emergency numbers for doctor, ambulance, hospital, and fire department near phone. 911 Wear Protective Equipment Wear protective clothing and equipment appropriate for the job. Avoid loose fitting clothing. Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause hearing impairment or hearing loss. Wear suitable hearing protection such as earmuffs or earplugs. Operating equipment safely requires the full attention of the operator. Avoid wearing radio headphones while operating machinery. Avoid High Pressure Fluids Hazard Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines or performing work on the system. Make sure all hydraulic fluid connections are tight and all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before applying pressure to the system. Use a piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check for suspected leaks. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic systems. If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any fluid injected into the skin must be treated within a few hours or gangrene may result. Keep Riders Off Machinery Riders obstruct the operator s view, they could be struck by foreign objects or thrown from the machine. Never allow children to operate equipment. Tire Safety Tire changing can be dangerous and should be preformed by trained personnel using the correct tools and equipment. When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side and NOT in front of or over the tire assembly. Use a safety cage if available. When removing and installing wheels, use wheel handling equipment adequate for the weight involved. Handle Chemicals Properly Protective clothing should be worn. Handle all chemicals with care. Follow instructions on container label. Agricultural chemicals can be dangerous. Improper use can seriously injure persons, animals, plants, soil, and property. Inhaling smoke from any type of chemical fire is a serious health hazard.

13 Section 3: Operating Instructions Section 3: Operating Instructions Operating Checklist Hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence, and proper training involved in the operation, transport, storage, and maintenance of the blade. Therefore, it is absolutely essential that no one operates the Landscape Rake without first having read, fully understood, and become totally familiar with the Operator s Manual. Make sure the operator has paid particular attention to: Important Safety Information, pages 1 to 3 Section 1: Assembly & Set-up, page 6 Section 2: Optional Equipment Set-up, page 8 Section 3: Operating Instructions, page 11 Section 4: Adjustments, page 13 Section 5: Maintenance & Lubrication, page 14 Operating Checklist Check Referenc Check 3-Point hook-up procedure. Be sure all pins have been installed and are secured. Page 7 All rake adjustments have been made and pins have been installed and are secured. The operator has read and understands how to operate the rake. The Landscape Rake has been lubricated as required. Check the rake initially and periodically for loose bolts & pins, See Torque Values Chart. Page 13 Page 11 Page 14 Page 18 Make the following inspections after attaching the Landscape Rake to the tractor: 1. Inspect tractor safety equipment to make sure it is in good working condition. 2. Carefully raise and lower the implement to ensure that the drawbar, tires, and other equipment on the tractor do not contact the frame and moldboard. 3. Carefully pivot rake fully clockwise such that the rake teeth closest to the tractor are in line with the tractor tire. Raise and lower implement to ensure tractor tires and tractor do not contact the rake. 4. Carefully pivot rake fully counterclockwise such that the rake teeth closest to the tractor is in line with the tractor tire. Raise and lower implement to ensure tractor tires and tractor do not contact the rake. Transporting! CAUTION When traveling on public roads at night or during the day, use accessory lights and devices for adequate warning to operators of other vehicles. Comply with all federal, state, and local laws. 1. When traveling on roadways, transport in such a way that faster moving vehicles may pass you safely. 2. Leave enough clearance on both sides of the rake when traveling straight or making turns to keep the blade from contacting obstacles such as buildings, trees or fences. 3. Slow down when traveling over rough or hilly terrain. Operating Instructions! WARNING Do not use the rake for pulling fence posts, stumps, etc., lifting objects, carry objects, or towing other equipment. Any of the above can result in rake damage, serious bodily injury, or death.! DANGER Never carry a person on the rake. A person can fall and be ran over by the rake or tractor causing serious injury or death. Operating Instructions By now you should have thoroughly read your Operator s Manual and properly installed your Land Pride Landscape Rake to your tractor. Before you begin raking you should visually survey the work site to make sure it is safe and free of foreign obstacles. Also make certain that all irrigation heads, utility outlets, and other obstacles are properly marked. Please stop and do the above checks and preparations if you have not yet done so before you begin to rake. This is a must for your safety and for the safety of others. Now that you are properly briefed, your landscape rake is properly installed, and you have properly checked out your work site, it is time to begin raking. When transporting or travelling to and from work sites, make sure that the rake is in the fully raised position and not in contact with the ground. Select a safe speed and transport to your work site in such a manner that faster moving vehicles can pass you safely. A slow moving vehicle sign should be employed if you are using a public road or right-of way. 11/01/12 LR0548, LR0560, LR1560, LR1572, LR1584 & LR1596 Landscape Rakes M 11

14 Section 3: Operating Instructions Once you have safely arrived at your work site, lower your rake with the 3-Point hitch control lever so that the rake is just barely off of the ground. Lock the tractor brake to prevent rolling, shut off the tractor, and remove the ignition key before dismounting. Make the necessary angle, pitch, and gauge wheel adjustments to the rake to achieve desired results. Changing the rake angle to left or right will distribute extraneous and oversized material in furrows to the left or right. Changing the pitch angle of the rake by adjusting the top link in or out to tilt the bottom in toward the tractor will result in more aggressive action and vice-versa. Setting the proper height on the adjustable gauge wheels will enable a consistent raking that is less affected by uneven ground conditions encountered by the tractor wheels. After you have made your initial adjustments and settings, get back on the tractor and make a gear and engine rpm selection that will enable a ground speed safe and suitable for your ground and operating conditions. Lower the rake into operating position and begin working. Achieving the desired affect may require additional adjustments. With a little practice you should begin to consistently achieve the desired results. Always keep safety uppermost in your mind and remember that before dismounting the tractor you must always set the park brake, lower your 3-Point attachment to the ground, turn off the tractor and remove the ignition key. If you must park on a hillside you should always chock the tractor wheels for an extra measure of safety.
